Course of action after events
Hey guys.
Went to a male bathhouse. Dealing with some guilt for the fact and by having cheated (and currently with antidepressants), but thats another story. I would like to ask you guys what should I do if any:
1. Engaged in receiving oral sex and rimming. Apparently the guy had bitten his lip, so don't know if there was any blood.
2. Theres a period of a few minutes in which I don't remember if I did anything else. I was drunk, but even drunk I hope I didnt engage in any type of anal intercourse, not even dipping.
So the questions are:
a. Should I try to get PEP since I dont really know the events? (It was less than 72 hours ago)
b. I have access to DUO/4th generation exams here. When is the earlies I should take it? When is it going to be conclusive?
Thank you

Only sex risk for adults are unprotected anal or vaginal. Only you can figure what happened during item 2 you list, otherwise you had zero risk.
PEP is potentially toxic and because of that risk most doctors say should only be used when you know the other party has HIV - you don't even know if you had anal.
4th gen is conclusive at 28 days.

If I understood correctly I should not seek PEP? Wouldn't it be advised if the exposure is unknown.
Thank you
Thank you
I can't advise you, since you don't even know what kind of sex you had.
